It’s…the day after Thanksgiving! Otherwise known to our peers in the industry as Black Friday, we at Alexandria & Company decided a couple of years ago to provide our staff with a much-earned extended Thanksgiving holiday today instead of opening at 4am for a shopping event. Because I wanted to encourage you lovely readers to do the same, I curated some of my favorite featured items from our showroom here so that you can sit back with a giant mug of hot chocolate (and leftover pumpkin pie) and browse from the convenience of your own cozy couch. Scroll through to see some of the gorgeous items we have in for the holidays, and while you’re at it -- make your wish list for Small Business Saturday! Details below…

This year, we’re making your wish listing easier. Send us your favorites through our special online contact form and we’ll make sure your shopping elves know what you’ve been eyeing! Simply reference the name of the item and where you saw it and we’ll confirm your list when we receive it. If you want us to forward your list to someone special, just include their email address in your message and we’ll send it along, discreetly.

To celebrate Small Business Saturday, this year we’ll be serving pink cava (from Brüt Champagne Bar, of course) all day in our showroom and offering 10 percent off our entire collection (except our vintage engagement rings). Many of our featured jewelry is available in your choice of 14k white, yellow, or rose gold, or we’re happy to special order your favorite item in platinum. And, to really sweeten the deal, we’ll be including complimentary truffles from Blüprint Chocolatiers with any purchase made on Saturday. We’re opening at 10am on Saturday to get things started early, so please come celebrate the season with us! We would love to see you.
